Henrietta Maria (1609-69), queen consort of England, the wife of King
Charles I and mother of Charles II. She was the daughter of Henry IV of
France and Marie de Médicis. Henrietta Maria's brother, Louis XIII, king
of France, consented in 1624 to her marriage to Charles, then prince of
Wales, on the condition that the English laws directed against Roman
Catholics be revised; the marriage took place, but the laws were not
revised. Because Henrietta Maria engaged in political intrigue to aid the
Roman Catholic cause, the queen greatly increased the unpopularity of her
husband. In 1642, after the outbreak of the English Revolution, she went
to the Continent to secure assistance for the Royalists. The following
year she returned with money and joined Charles at Oxford. The situation
grew worse for the Royalists, however, and in 1644 Henrietta Maria fled to
France. She continued to solicit aid for Charles until his execution in
1649. After the restoration of Charles II in 1660 she was awarded a
parliamentary grant and permission to live in England; she returned to
France in 1665.

=============================================================================

Charles II (of England) (1630-85), king of England, Scotland, and Ireland
(1660-85), whose reign marked a period of relative stability after the
upheaval of the English Revolution.

Charles was born in London on May 29, 1630. He was the second, but eldest
surviving, son of King Charles I and was prince of Wales from birth. He
took his seat in the House of Lords in 1641 and held a nominal military
command in the early campaigns of the first civil war of the English
Revolution. He later fled from England and went into exile at The Hague,
the Netherlands, from where he made two attempts to save his father. On
the execution of Charles I in 1649, Charles II assumed the title of king
and was so proclaimed in Scotland and sections of Ireland, and in England,
then ruled by Oliver Cromwell. After an acknowledgment of the faults of
his father, Charles accepted the Scottish crown on January 1, 1651, at
Scone from the Scottish noble Archibald Campbell, 8th earl of Argyll. He
invaded England the following August with 10,000 men and was proclaimed
king at Carlisle and other places along his route. His army, however, was
routed by Cromwell at Worcester on September 3, 1651. After this battle
Charles fled to France.

He spent eight years in poverty and dissipation while in exile on the
Continent. In 1658, following the death of Cromwell and the succession of
his son, Richard, as Lord Protector, the demand for the restoration of
royalty increased. In February 1660, General George Monck led an army into
London and forced the Rump Parliament to dissolve. In April, in the
Declaration of Breda, Charles announced his intention to accept a
parliamentary government and to grant amnesty to his political opponents.
A new Parliament requested Charles to return and proclaimed him king on
May 8, 1660. He landed at Dover on May 26 and was welcomed at Whitehall by
Parliament three days later.

Charles was crowned on April 23, 1661. Noted for subservience and
insistence on royal prerogative, his first Parliament was overwhelmingly
Royalist and gave him free rein. Edward Hyde, 1st earl of Clarendon, his
companion in exile, was appointed chief minister. Clarendon restored the
supremacy of the Church of England, and English and Scottish
Nonconformists and Presbyterians were persecuted contrary to the
Declaration of Breda. Extravagant and always in want of money, Charles
assented to the abolition of the feudal rights of knight service,
wardship, and purveyance in consideration of a large annuity that,
however, was never fully paid. On May 20, 1662, he married the Portuguese
princess Catherine of Braganza (1638-1705) for her large dowry. The
failure of Parliament to produce the amount agreed on and the chronic
mismanagement of the English finances brought the king to a desperate need
of money. In return for subsidies from Louis XIV of France, Charles formed
a secret alliance with that country; in 1672 that alliance plunged England
into a war with the Netherlands.

The war was popular. Commercial and colonial rivalry had already brought
about two wars between the two countries, the last one occurring between
1665 and 1667. The Dutch War of 1672 resulted in the English acquisition
of the Dutch colony of New Netherland (now New York). Knowledge of his
negotiations with France, together with his efforts to become an absolute
ruler, brought Charles into conflict with Parliament, which, buoyed by
French subsidies, he dissolved in 1681. The struggle was heightened by
enactment of the anti-Catholic Test Acts and by the so-called popish plot
fabricated by Titus Oates. From 1681 until his death on February 6, 1685,
Charles ruled without Parliament. Although a member of the Anglican
church, Charles received the last rites of the Roman Catholic church. He
was succeeded by his brother James II.

Notes on Charles II, King of England (ruled 1660-1685)
Charles was born at St JamesXs Palace 29 May 1630. He was created Prince of Wales in his ninth year; on the outbreak of the Civil War, he accompanied his father at the battle of Edgehill. By 1644, the Royalist cause had declined so sharply that Charles was forced into exile, first to Scilly and Jersey - where James, Duke of Monmouth, was begotten of his liaison with Lucy Walter - and finally to France. His offer to agree to any conditions that would preserve his FatherXs life having been rejected, on the royal captiveXs execution, Charles Stewart assumed the title of King. In 1650, he agreed to the terms laid down by the Scottish Commissioners, and having subscribed to the Covenant, he was crowned at Scone on 1 Jan 1651. He speedily found himself the prisoner of rancorous politico-religious factions far too busy quarrelling amongst themselves to combine to assert the KingXs title. Marching into England at the head of a scratch force lacking in all cohesion and control, he suffered such grievous defeat at Worcester (3 Sep 1651) that flight was inevitable. With £1,000 set on his head by Parliament, for forty-four days he stole through the Western counties, only preserved from capture by the unswerving devotion of the many loyalists, of all classes, who risked their lives to help him on his way. Finally smuggled aboard a coal-brig at Shoreham, he was safely landed in Normandy. Nine years of wandering, indigent exile ensued before a distracted and impoverished England, in dread of a revival of military despotism, summoned Charles to take up the reins of government; a recall very largelyengineered by General George Monck. Landing at Dover, Charles entered London in triumph on 29 May 1660. Two years later he married the Portuguese Princess Catherine of Braganza, but the union was childless. The first seven years of the reign were characterised by a loyal parliament and widespread constitutional support for a Church and State as anti-Catholic as it was anti-Puritan; although ClarendonXs control of policy exhibited an inflexible authoritarianism dangerously at variance with the prevailing climate of opinion. The intransigent attitude of the extremist Catholic-Presbyterian "Cabal" was ultimately reduced to impotence by the provisions of the Test Act of 1673. But failure to appreciate that the retention of Dunkirk without Calais to support it was no more than an empty gesture, rendered CharlesXs sale of the former Cromwellian incubus extremely unpopular; while the limited success attending theattempt to win back the valuable trans-oceanic carrying trade from the Dutch by the war of 1665 aroused general dissatisfaction. This was further exacerbated by de RuyterXs destructive raid on shipping in the Medway and Thamesmouth, where much of the Fleet had been "laid up in ordinary" for want of an adequate parliamentary grant to fit it out and the necessary seafarers to man it - this last a consequence of the Great Plague. ClarendonXs alleged mismanagement of the war led to his dismissal, hard on the conclusion of the Peace of Breda (1667). This was the outcome of the exhaustion of both belligerents, and left France free to pursue her design for an Anglo-Gallic combination against the States General. This aim was temporarily checked by Sir William TempleXs negotiations for a triple alliance between Britain, Holland and Sweden, a sop to the party of the "Cabal." But denied the requisite funds - particularly for the upkeep of the Navy by ShaftesburyXs intemperate "Country Party," Charles, believing that a kingXs only morality is the welfare of his people, and that an Anglo-French alliance against Holland was the only alternative to a dangerously powerful Franco-Dutch coalition against Britain, signed the secret Treaty of Dover (1670). If by this pact the British sovereign became in some sort the pensioner of Louis of France, he sinuously contrived to evade the services expected of him in return, including the forcible conversion of his realm to Roman Catholicism, while sedulously devoting £76,000 of his first subsidy of £84,700 to the build-up of a fighting marine powerful enough to exact wary respect from Frenchman and Hollander alike. The Dutch War of 1672 sufficiently avenged the Medway raid; but Gallic co-operation therein was so half-hearted that public opinion refused to support a conflict in which "the French only accompanied their allies to the scene of action to see if the British Navy earned its pay." Peace with Holland was concluded and cemented by the marriage of CharlesXs niece, Mary, to the Prince of Orange. With Shaftesbury heading an Opposition intent on making the utmost political capital out of Titus OatesXs trumped-up "Popish Plot," Charles steered an astutely prudent course. Pretending to be duly impressed by reported machinations too infeasible to beguile any but the most gullible, he nonetheless steadfastly refused to tamper with the succession to exclude his brother James. The immoderate violence of the Whig leaders, together with the unmasking of the Rye House Plot to assassinate the king and his brother, turned the tide in CharlesXs favour. With his implacable opponents vanquished, for the last three years of his life Charles reigned tranquilly and without obstruction. Stricken with apoplexy, he died on 6 Feb 1685. Shrewd, supple and of great political acumen, Charles was "an exact knower of mankind" and one who "had a world of wit and not a grain of ill-nature in him" (Defoe). Above all, he was determined torestore his countryXs prosperity and safeguard it by building the most powerful Navy afloat. Inheriting a tremendous load of debt and an Exchequer containing exactly £11, 2s. 10d., by 1685 he had wrought so well that "there were more men to be found on the Exchange worth £10, 000 than in 1651 had been worth £1,000" (Sir Josiah Child). Indeed, "England has rarely been so prosperous as under Charles II" (Sir Charles Petrie), and the rise in living standardswas shared by all classes. The Fleet was stronger than at any time under the Parliament, while 300,000 tons of merchant shipping wore the English flag. MenXs liberty had been underwritten by the passage of the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679; science had been advanced by the construction of Greenwich Observatory and the production of the Nautical Almanac. Charles sharply differentiated between his duties as a sovereign and his indulgences as a man. If his numerous amours expanded the ranks of the nobility with a dozen natural offspring, no woman who had granted him her favours could justly accuse him of ingratitude or neglect. His marriage being childless, he was succeeded by his brother, James. {BurkeXs Peerage and ChamberXs Biographical Dictionary} {Concise Dictionary of National Biography} Succeeded to the throne after his FatherXs execution by the Parliamentarians. Forced into exile in France, he returned with the Restoration period in 1660. He changed the spelling of his family to Stuart after the French fashion. [GADD.GED]

After the civil war parliment wouldn't have him as king. But as thing go there was a reformation and Charles was called back home from France to ascend the throne. He became King of England, Scotland and Ireland. His father, Chales I was executed and lost his head at Whitehall jan 30, 1649 at the end of the English Civil War. During Charles rein the great fire of London occurred as well as the great plague.
Charles died painfully suffering from kidney dysfunction.

James II (of Great Britain) (1633-1701), king of England, Scotland, and
Ireland (1685-88).

James was born on October 14, 1633, in London, the second surviving son of
King Charles I and his consort, Henrietta Maria. He was created duke of
York and Albany in 1634. After the execution of his father, he was taken
to the Continent, and in 1657 he entered the Spanish service in the war
against England. At the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, his brother
became king as Charles II, and James was made lord high admiral of
England. In the same year he married Anne Hyde (1637-71), daughter of
Edward Hyde, earl of Clarendon. In 1672 James made a public profession of
his conversion to the Roman Catholic faith. The following year the English
Parliament passed the first of the Test Acts disqualifying Catholics from
holding office, and James resigned as lord high admiral. Shortly after, he
married Mary Beatrice of Modena (1658-1718), a Roman Catholic. In 1679 the
House of Commons unsuccessfully attempted to bar James from the throne.

On the death of Charles in 1685, James became king. In the same year he
crushed a revolt in England by his nephew, James Scott, duke of Monmouth,
and another in Scotland led by Archibald Campbell, earl of Argyll. James
alienated many supporters by his severe reprisals, especially by a series
of repressive trials, the Bloody Assizes. James attempted to win the
support of the Dissenters and the Roman Catholics in 1687 by ending
religious restrictions, but instead increased the religious tensions. The
birth of his son, James Francis Edward Stuart, on June 10, 1688, seemed to
ensure a Roman Catholic succession. The opposition leaders soon thereafter
invited James's son-in-law, William of Orange, later William III, to take
the English throne, thus touching off the Glorious Revolution. William
landed in England in November 1688 and marched on London. He was hailed as
a deliverer, and James, deserted by his troops, fled to France, where he
was aided by King Louis XIV. In 1690, with a small body of French troops,
James landed in Ireland in an attempt to regain his throne. He was
defeated in battle at the Boyne and returned to France, where he remained
in Saint-Germain-en-Laye until his death on September 16, 1701.

DUKE OF YORK; KG; EARL OF ULSTER; ACCEDED 2/6/1685; DECLARED TO HAVE ABDICATED
12/11/1688; INTERREGNUM 12/11/1688-2/13/1689

James II (1633-1701), king of Great Britain and Ireland, was born in London, the second son of Charles I and Henrietta Maria. The excitement over the popish plot necessitated his retirement from England and in 1679 the Exclusion Bill, to prevent his accession, was brought forward. The same year James returned and was sent to suppress the Covenanters in Scotland, which he did with much cruelty. At the close of 1680 the Exclusion Bill was thrown out by the Lords; and after a stormy period a reaction in favor of royalty set in, which continued till the death of Charles II in 1685, when he succeeded to the throne. Having overcome the rising of Monmouth, James set up a new Court of Ecclesiastical Commission, and issued his first Declaration of Indulgence. In April 1688 he issued his second Declaration of Indulgence. Seven bishops petitioned against the kingXs illegal command, and were tried. Their acquittal wasfollowed by an invitation to William of Orange to come over to England and his acceptance was followed by JamesX flight to France. One of his daughters, Mary, married the Prince of Orange. Another succeeded to the English throne as Queen Anne. His son by his second wife, James Francis Edward, is known as the Old Pretender. Louis XIV received him kindly. [World Wide Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1935]

Fled the country 11 Dec 1688. Declared to have Abdicated by Parliament, 28 Jan 1689. [GADD.GED]



Deposed for being a catholic and fled the country to France and lived under the protection of Louis XIV.
At the beginning, he ascended the throne because his brother Charles left no "legitimate" heirs borne of his queen. There was a civila war and a lot of James' trusted friends defected on the side of the protestant faction. James was forced to leave his beloved country. Oddly enough, his niece, the daughter of Charles I, was a protestant and ascended the throne with her first cousin, William of Orange.

Monmouth was executed in 1685 after making an unsuccessful attempt to depose King James II, commonly called the Monmouth Rebellion. Declaring himself the legitimate King, Monmouth attempted to capitalise on his position as the son (albeit illegitimate) of Charles II, and his Protestantism, in opposition to James, who was Catholic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monmouth_Rebellion

James Scott, Duke of Monmouth: During the Whig & Tory uprising in England, The Whig leaders, thwarted of their Exclusion Bill to keep James duke of York from the succession to the throne - found a Protestant here in king CharlesII's illegitimate son, James Scott, the Duke of Monmouth. (ca 1670) It was claimed that James Scott's mother (long since dead) had been married to Charles during his exile in Scotland, and that the proof was in a black box, and therefore he was the rightful heir to the throne. Monmouth, a weakling, allowed himself to b epushed forward by Shaftesbury as a possible successor to the throne. After long struggle, and James Scott's champion, Shaftesbury fledabroad and died in Holland, gave up his pretense and made peace with his father.

He was called James Fitzroy and James Crofts. He was a pretender to the
British throne. James was brought to England in 1662, where Charles
subsequently acknowledged him as his son and created him duke of Monmouth.
He married and took his wife's surname and the title duke of Buccleuch.
Captain of the king's troops in 1668, Monmouth was appointed captain
general of all English forces in 1678. He defeated the Scottish
Covenanters at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679.

Charles II had no legitimate heirs. The English Protestant leaders tried
to force the king to name Monmouth, also a Protestant, as successor, but
Charles instead named his brother James, a Roman Catholic, and banished
Monmouth from England. The initial success of the Exclusion Bill, a
measure barring James from succession, permitted Monmouth to return to
London, but he fled again in 1683 after the disclosure of the Rye House
Plot. On his father's death in 1685, Monmouth returned to England to claim
the Crown. He gathered followers and succeeded in capturing Axminster and
Taunton, but was defeated by the English soldier John Churchill, 1st duke
of Marlborough. He was captured and executed for treason.

DUKE OF MONMOUTH; NATURAL SON; EXECUTED

Notes on James Scott, Duke of Monmouth, also called James Fitzroy and James Crofts, illegitimate son of King Charles II and pretender to the British throne.
Born in the Netherlands, and reared on the Continent, James was brought to England, after the Restoration, in 1662, where Charles subsequently acknowledged him as his natural son and created him Duke of Monmouth. In 1663 he married Anne Scott, Countess of Buccleuch (1651-1732), and took her surname and the title Duke of Buccleuch. He was appointed Captain of the KingXs troops in 1668. Monmouth was appointed Captain General of all English forces in 1678. He defeated the Scottish Covenanters (a small group of Lowlanders who where protesting against the persecution of their Presbyterian faith) at the so-called Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679. Charles II had no legitimate heirs. TheEnglish Protestant leaders tried to force the King to name Monmouth, also a Protestant, as successor, but Charles instead named his brother James, who was a Roman Catholic, and banished Monmouth from England.

EARL OF PLYMOUTH; NATURAL SON

Notater:

{geni:about_me} ====Anne Lennard, Countess of Sussex (25 February 1661-2 X 16 May 1721-2), formerly Lady Anne Palmer, alias Fitzroy, was the eldest daughter of Barbara Palmer née Villiers, 1st Duchess of Cleveland, and most likely Charles II of England or Philip Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Chesterfield.
====She was born Anne Palmer on 25 February 1661 or 1662 at Westminster, England.[1] She was the first child of Barbara Palmer, who was the wife of Roger Palmer, 1st Earl of Castlemaine, and who was also a mistress of Charles II.According to legend, Anne was conceived on the night of Charles's Coronation. Both Palmer and the king acknowledged Anne as his daughter and she later took on the surname of Fitzroy, meaning "son of the king," but she is generally assigned to the 2nd Earl of Chesterfield, "whom," says Lord Dartmouth, "she resembled very much both in face and person."[2]
====On 11 August 1674, at the age of thirteen and a half, Lady Anne was married, at Hampton Court, to the 15th Baron Dacre, a Gentleman of the Bedchamber to the King. On the same day her younger sister, Lady Charlotte Fitzroy, was contracted at the age of ten, to Sir Edward Lee, raised from an early baronetcy to the Earldom of Lichfield two months before. He also was a Gentleman of the King's Bedchamber. Both the wedding and the dowry were paid for by Charles II. Dacre was subsequently created Earl of Sussex.
====At some point she had an almost certainly lesbian relationship with Hortense Mancini, a mistress of Anne's father, Charles II, and therefore a rival of her mother, his maîtresse en titre. To put an end to the affair, Anne's husband, Lord Sussex, removed his wife to the country. In the summer of 1678, Lady Sussex was abducted from a convent in Paris and seduced by Ralph Montagu (afterwards 1st Duke of Montagu). She was 17 years old. He was successivelythe lover of mother and daughter (the Duchess of Cleveland and Lady Sussex).[3] In a letter to King Charles, dated "Paris, Tuesday the 28th, 1678," her mother wrote:
==== I was never so surprised in my whole life-time as I was at my coming hither, to find my Lady Sussex gone from my house and monastery where I left her, and this letter from her, which I here send you the copy of. I never in my whole life-time heard of such government of herself as she has had since I went into England. She has never been in the monastery two days together, but every day gone out with the Ambassador (Ralph Montagu), and has often lain four days together at my house, and sent for her meat to the Ambassador; he being always with her till five o'clock in the morning, they two shut up together alone, and would not let my maitre d'hôtel wait, nor any of my servants,only the Ambassador's. This has made so great a noise at Paris, that she is now the whole discourse. I am so much afflicted that I can hardly write this for crying, to see a child, that I doted on as I did on her, should make me so ill a return, and join with the worst of men to ruin me.[4]
====Anne's husband the Earl of Sussex was a "popular but extravagant man"[5] who, by extravagance and losses by gambling, had to sell the estate of Herstmonceaux and others. Lord and Lady Sussex separated in 1688. She was widowedin 1715.
====The children of her union with Sussex were two sons, who died in infancy; and two daughters, who lived to adulthood, co-heirs of the Barony Dacre:[6]
* 1.Barbara Lennard: born 12 July 1676 at Westminster, London; died 1741 at Paris. Married Charles Skelton, Esq., Lieutenant-General in the French service, and Grand Croix de St. Louis. Died without issue.

* 3.Henry Lennard: born about 1683 at Herstmonceaux, Sussex; died in infancy.
* 4.Anne Lennard: born 17 August 1684 at Sussex; died 26 June 1755 at London. 16th Baroness Dacre in her own right. Married thrice;[7]
* (1) First, to Richard Barrett-Lennard, Esq. (died 1716), son of Dacre Barrett-Lennard and his wife Jane, eldest daughter of Arthur Chichester, the second Earl of Donegal. Died a few months after his marriage to the Lady Anne in 1716, leaving his wife with child. Their son was Thomas Barrett-Lennard, 17th Baron Dacre (1717 X 12 January 1786), who died without issue.
* (2) Secondly, to Henry Roper, 8th Baron Teynham (died 16 May 1723). Had, among other children, Charles, who m. Gertrude, sister and co-heir of John Trevor, esq. of Glynd, in Sussex, and left at his decease, in 1754, ....

Diana, Princess of Wales, was descended from four of King Charles II's illegitimate sons: the Dukes of Grafton, Richmond, St. Albans, and Monmouth (all by different mistresses of the King). Diana's son, Prince William of Wales, second in line to the British Throne, is likely to be the first monarch descended from Charles II.

{geni:about_me} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Beauclerk,_1st_Duke_of_St_Albans

There are several legends as to how Beauclerk was made Earl of Burford. The first is that on arrival of the King, his mother said, "Come here, you little bastard, and greet your father." When the king rebuked her for calling him that, she replied, "Your Majesty has given me no other name to call him by." In response, Charles created him Earl of Burford.

Another legend is that Beauclerk's mother held him out of a window (or above a river) and threatened to drop him unless he was given a peerage. Charles supposedly cried out "God save the Earl of Burford!" and subsequently createdthat peerage.

Richmond was a patron of cricket, then becoming a major professional sport, and did much to develop it in Sussex. It is almost certain that he was involved with the earliest known major cricket match which took place in the 1697 season and was the first to be reported by the press [1]. Richmond sponsored a team in the 1702 season against an Arundel side [2].

Richmond's son Charles, the 2nd Duke, inherited his interest in cricket and became the patron of both Sussex county cricket teams and Slindon Cricket Club.

{geni:about_me} King of England, Scotland and Ireland - Prince of Orange - Stadtholder of Guelders, Holland, Zealand, Utrecht, and Overijssel



William III (14 November 1650 X 8 March 1702)[1] was a sovereign Prince of Orange by birth. From 1672 onwards, he governed as Stadtholder William III of Orange over Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, and Overijssel of the DutchRepublic. From 1689 onwards, he reigned as King William III over England and Ireland, and as King William II over Scotland.[2] He is informally known in Northern Ireland and Scotland as "King Billy". A member of the House of Orange-Nassau, William won the English, Scottish and Irish crowns following the Glorious Revolution, in which his uncle and father-in-law James II was deposed. In England, Scotland and Ireland, William ruled jointly with his wife, Mary II, until her death on 28 December 1694.

A Protestant, William participated in several wars against the powerful Catholic King Louis XIV of France in coalition with Protestant and Catholic powers in Europe. Many Protestants heralded him as a champion of their faith. Largely due to that reputation, William was able to take the British crowns when many were fearful of a revival of Catholicism under James. William's victory over James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 is commemorated by the Orange Institution in Northern Ireland to this day. His reign marked the beginning of the transition from the personal rule of the Stuarts to the more Parliament-centred rule of the House of Hanover.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_III_of_England]

--------------------

''' William III Henry of Orange''', King of Great Britain was born on 4 November 1650.4

He was the son of '''Willem II von Nassau-Dillenburg''', Prince of Orange and '''Mary Henrietta Stuart,''' Princess Royal of Great Britain.

He married '''Mary II Stuart, Queen of Great Britain''', daughter of James II Stuart, King of Great Britain and Lady Anne Hyde, on 4 November 1677 at St. James's Palace, St. James's, London, England.5

He died on 8 March 1702 at age 51 at Kensington Palace, Kensington, London, England, in a hunting accident.4 He was buried at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London, England.4

William III Henry of Orange, King of Great Britain and Elizabeth Villiers were associated.6

He succeeded to the title of Stadholder of the United Provinces of the Netherlands on 6 November 1650.4 He was invested as a Knight, Order of the Garter (K.G.) on 25 April 1653.4 He gained the title of Graf von Nassau-Dillenburg in 1672.4 He gained the title of Prince of Orange from 1672 to 1702. He gained the title of King William III of Great Britain on 13 February 1689.1 He was crowned King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith on 11 April 1689 at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London, England.1

William and Mary were joint sovereigns as both had a good claim to the throne. William's object in taking the throne was to ensure that England remained part of the Grand Alliance against France who had territorial ambitionsin Europe. William agreed to a Parliamentary demand for constitutional changes which permitted non-conformist Christians the right of worship; ensured that the Commons controlled Royal expenditure; provided for a new parliament to be called every 3 years; made the appointment of judges subject to parliamentary approval and, perhaps most important, laid down that only Protestants could succeed to the throne. William fought against the French and although reducing their power they were not decisively beaten. In 1690 William defeated James II and his French allies at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland and the expenses of these wars necessitated the creation of the National Debt and this partly led to the establishment of the Bank of England in 1694. Queen Mary died of smallpox in 1694 and was buried at Westminster Abbey. The menace of France remained and William appointed John Churchill, Earl of Marlborough, Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Alliance. He has an extensive biographical entry in the Dictionary of National Biography.7

Born after the death of his father. Undersized, asthamtic & with a hook-nose. After his wife's death he began drinking alot. It was hard for him to breathe as he was asthmatic. He became very thin & his legs swelled to an immensesize. In Feb. 1702 William was riding at Hampton Court when his horse stumbled on a mole hill & there he broke his collar bone. After it had been set, he insisted on returning to Kensington Palace by coach, which aggravated his condition. He became feverish & some days later died of pleuro-pneumonia. His funeral was held at midnight.

He was called William of Orange. He was also a stadtholder of the
Netherlands (1672-1702), who helped form the Grand Alliance and led
England in its so-called Glorious Revolution.

In 1672, after the invasion of the Netherlands by the French king Louis
XIV, the leadership of Jan De Witt, grand pensionary of Holland, was
repudiated, and William was elected stadtholder, captain-general, and
admiral. William fought the French with great resolution, even cutting
(1673) dikes around Amsterdam to flood the surrounding countryside and
halt the advancing French armies. The Dutch suffered severe reverses in
subsequent battles. As a result of William's superior diplomacy, however,
which also included the strengthening of ties with England by his marriage
(1677) to the English princess Mary (eldest daughter of his uncle, James,
duke of York, later King James II), Louis XIV agreed to terminate the war
on terms favorable to the Dutch.

After the accession (1685) of James II there was fear in England that the
king's policies were directed toward restoring the power of the Roman
Catholic church. In July 1688, James's principal opponents secretly
invited William, who was Europe's leading Protestant statesman, to bring
an army of liberation to England. William and a force totaling about
15,000 men landed at Torbay on November 5, 1688. Most of the English
nobility declared for William, and James fled to France. William accepted
the Declaration of Rights passed by the Convention Parliament, which met
on January 22, 1689, and on February 13, William and Mary were proclaimed
joint sovereigns of England.

Shortly after the conclusion of this Glorious Revolution, the Scottish
parliament accepted the new rulers. Predominantly Catholic Ireland,
however, remained loyal to the deposed king and had to be taken by force.
In 1690 William led the army that defeated James and his Irish partisans
at the Battle of the Boyne. William's reign continued to be marked by
abortive Jacobite plots to restore James to the throne. After the death of
Mary in 1694, William ruled alone.

In 1689, in pursuit of containing France, William had brought England into
the League of Augsburg, thereafter known as the Grand Alliance. For the
next eight years he was embroiled in wars on the Continent. He managed by
skillful diplomacy to hold the alliance together and, under the terms of
the Peace of Ryswick, Louis XIV of France surrendered (1697) much of the
territory he had won and recognized William as England's rightful king.

At home William manifested virtually none of the acumen he displayed in
foreign affairs. Although he was liberal in some things, it was not he but
Parliament, to which he was often opposed, that brought about the reforms
effected during his reign, such as the passing of the Bill of Rights, the
establishment of the Bank of England, the introduction of ministerial
responsibility in government, and the encouragement of a free press.

In 1701 William headed the second Grand Alliance, which became involved in
the so-called War of the Spanish Succession. He died before he could take
an active part in the struggle. His wife's sister, Queen Anne, succeeded
to the throne.

PRINCE OF ORANGE; KG; ACCEDED 2/13/1689 (CROWNED WESTMINSTER); RULED JOINTLY
WITH MARY II FROM 1689-1694; RULED SOLELY FROM 1694-1702

William III (1650-1702), king of England, was the son of William II of Orange, ruler of the United Provinces. In 1677 he married Mary, daughter of James, Duke of York, who in 1685 became king of England as James II. In 1688 William was invited by seven Whig peers to deliver England from the Stuart misrule and after the flight of James II to France, the crown was offered to William and Mary. WilliamXs success was marred by the deplorable massacre of Glencoe in 1692. On May 19, 1692, the English naval victory of La Hogue ruined all chance of direct aid to James from France. In 1694 Queen Mary died.

From 1697 to 1700 William was occupied with the Spanish Succession question, but died before the outbreak of the war. WilliamXs reign marked the transition from the personal government of the Stuarts to the Parliamentary rule of the Hanoverians.

Catherine gave birth to several children while James II's mistress, but only a daughter survived. The daughter Catherine, although acknowledged by James, in all probability was the daughter of Colonel James Grahame, a witty and fashionable hanger-on at court and the King's Keeper of the Privy Purse. Apparently Catherine felt no need to confine her favors to just the one man. When her daughter began to give herself airs, Catherine told her, "You need not be so vain, daughter, you are not the King's child, but old Grahame's."

Catherine the younger married first James Annesley, 3rd Earl of Anglesey, and had a daughter Lady Catherine whose descendants include the Baron Mulgrave. After his death, she married John Sheffield, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Normanby.

Mary II (30 April 1662 X 28 December 1694) was joint Sovereign of England, Scotland, and Ireland with her husband and first cousin, William III and II, from 1689 until her death. William and Mary, both Protestants, became king and queen regnant, respectively, following the Glorious Revolution, which resulted in the deposition of her Roman Catholic father, James II and VII. William became sole ruler upon her death in 1694. Popular histories usually refer to their joint reign as that of "William and Mary".

Mary wielded less power than William when he was in England, ceding most of her authority to him, though he heavily relied on her. She did, however, act alone when William was engaged in military campaigns abroad, proving herselfto be a powerful, firm, and effective ruler.

Although her father was a convert to Roman Catholicism, Mary was brought
up as a Protestant and was married at the age of 15 to the Dutch
Protestant prince William of Orange. In 1688, English opponents of James,
unhappy with his autocratic rule and favoritism toward Roman Catholics,
initiated the Glorious Revolution, forcing James into exile and giving the
throne to Mary and William (who became king as William III). They were
crowned as joint rulers in April 1689. Mary governed as regent while
William was campaigning in Ireland (1690-91) and on the Continent
(1692-94), but for the most part she simply carried out policies
formulated by her husband. William continued to rule alone after her
death.

Ruled after her father was dethroned. Ceded her power to her husband and cousin William II of England

Last of the House of Stuarts. Had one son who died suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of eleven. Upon autopsy it was dicovered that the cause of death was, hydrocephalus.

Anne (1665-1714), queen of Great Britain and Ireland (1702-14), the last
British sovereign of the house of Stuart. Born in London on February 6,
1665, she was the second daughter of King James II. Her mother was James's
first wife, Anne Hyde (1637-71). In 1683 she was married to Prince George
of Denmark (1653-1708). Although her father converted to Roman Catholicism
in 1672, Anne remained Protestant and acquiesced in James's overthrow by
the anti-Roman Catholic Glorious Revolution of 1688, which brought her
sister Mary and Mary's husband, William of Orange, to the throne. Becoming
queen on William's death in 1702, Anne restored to favor John Churchill,
who had been disgraced by her predecessor, making him duke of Marlborough
and captain-general of the army. Marlborough won a series of victories
over the French in the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-14, known in
America as Queen Anne's War), and he and his wife, Sarah (1660-1744), had
great influence over the queen in the early years of her reign.

Devoted to the Church of England, Anne was inclined to favor the
pro-church Tory faction rather than its Whig opponents, but, influenced by
the Marlboroughs and Lord Treasurer Sidney Godolphin, earl of Godolphin
(1645-1712), she at first excluded the Tories from office. Later, however,
her friendship with the Marlboroughs cooled, and in 1710 she took
advantage of popular dissatisfaction with the Whigs to remove Godolphin;
Marlborough was dismissed the following year. During Queen Anne's reign
the kingdoms of England and Scotland were united (1707). She died in
London on August 1, 1714, and, having no surviving children, was succeeded
by her German cousin, George, elector of Hannover, as King George I of
Great Britain.

ACCEDED 3/8/1702 (CROWNED WESTMINSTER); RULED FROM 1702-1714; HAD AT LEAST 18
CHILDREN BORN STILLBORN OR WHO DIED IN INFANCY

Anne, 1665-1714, queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1702-7), later queen of Great Britain and Ireland (1707-14), daughter of James II and Anne Hyde; successor to William III. Reared as a Protestant and married (1683) to Prince George of Denmark (d. 1708), she was not close to her Catholic father and acquiesced in the Glorious Revolution (1688) which put William III and her sister, Mary II, on the throne. With them she was soon on bad terms because of private animosities, partially caused by AnneXs favorite. This woman was her attendant and intimate friend from girlhood, Sarah Jennings, who had married John Churchill (later 1st duke of Marlborough) and who was to exercise great influence in AnneXs private and public life. They addressed each other as Mrs. Morley (Anne) and Mrs. Freeman (Sarah) to avoid obligations of rank. Of AnneXs many children the only one to live much beyond babyhood - the duke ofGloucester - died at the age of 11 in 1700. Since neither she nor William had surviving children and support for her exiled Catholic half brother rose and fell in Great Britain, the question of succession continued vexed after the Act of Settlement (1701) and after AnneXs accession. The last Stuart ruler, she was the first to rule over Great Britain, which was created when the Act of Union joined Scotland and England in 1707. Her reign, like that of William III, was one of transition to parliamentary government; Anne was, for example, the last English monarch to exercise (1707) the royal veto. Domestic and foreign affairs alike were dominated by the War of the Spanish Succession, called Queen AnneXs War in America. On the continent the duke of Marlborough won glory for English arms. At home the costs of the fighting were an issue between the Tories, who were cool to the war, and the Whigs, who favored it. Party lines were slowly hardening, but party government and ministerial responsibility were not yet established; intrigues and the favor of the queen still made and unmade cabinets, though public opinion and elections did have increasing influence. Thus it was at least partly through the pressure of the Marlboroughs that Anne was induced, despite her Tory sympathies, to oust Tory ministers in favor of Whigs. The Marlboroughs forced the dismissal of Robert Harley in 1708, though the scolding duchess had already lost much of her power to AnneXs new favorite, the quiet Abigail Masham, kinswoman and friend of Harley. When the unpopularity of the war and the furor over the prosecution of Henry Sacheverell showed the power of the Tories (who won the elections of 1710) and made the move feasible, Anne recalled Harley to power, and the Marlboroughs were dismissed. Harley, created earl of Oxford, was political leader until 1714, when he was replaced by his Tory colleague and rival, Viscount Bolingbroke. Soon afterward thte queen died, and, Jacobite plans having failed, she was succeeded by George I of the house of Hanover. Queen Anne was a dull, stubborn, but conscientious woman devoted to the Church of England and within it to the High Church party. She supported the act (1711) against "occasional conformity" and the Schism Act (1714), both directed against dissenters and both repealed in 1718. She also created a trust fund called Queen AnneXs Bounty for poor clerical livings. Her reign also saw developments in the intellectual awakening that produced such thinkers as George Berkeley and SirIsaac Newton and such scholars and writers as Richard Bentley, Swift, Pope, Addison, Steele and Defoe. The British press grew rapidly as a political instrument. Sir Christopher Wren and Sir John Vanbrugh were at the same time setting in stone and brick the rich elegance that was perhaps the most attractive aspect of life and society under Queen Anne.

James FitzJames, 1st Duke of Berwick, 1st Duke of Fitz-James, 1st Duke of Liria and Jérica (21 August 1670 X 12 June 1734) was an Anglo-French military leader, illegitimate son of King James II of England by Arabella Churchill, sister of the 1st Duke of Marlborough. In 1695 he married Honora de Burke, the daughter of William Burke, 7th Earl of Clanricarde and the widow of the 1st Earl of Lucan, who died in 1698. His second marriage, with Anne Bulkeley, daughter of Henry Bulkeley, took place in 1700.
===History===

FitzJames was born at Moulins in France before his father's accession to the throne, and was brought up a Roman Catholic and educated in the College of Juilly, the Collège du Plessis, and the Jesuit College of La Flèche. He went into the service of Charles, Duke of Lorraine and was present at the siege of Buda. FitzJames was created Duke of Berwick, Earl of Tinmouth and Baron Bosworth by his father in 1687.[1] He then returned to Hungary and participated at the Battle of Mohács.

Berwick returned to England and was made Governor of Portsmouth. King James made him a Knight of the Garter, but due to the invasion of the Prince of Orange and the subsequent Glorious Revolution, the installation never took place. In the following year, James was overthrown and Berwick went into exile with him, taking an active part in the Irish campaign, including the Battle of the Boyne. After his father's final exile, Berwick served in the French army. He fought at the battles of Steenkerque and Landen. At the latter, Berwick was taken prisoner, but was exchanged for the Duke of Ormonde. Because of his support for his father and service in the French army against England, he was attainted in 1695, and his British peerages forfeit.
Philip V of Spain creates James, Duke of Fitz-James in the Peerage of France, after the Battle of Almanza.

As a soldier, Berwick was highly esteemed for his courage, abilities and integrity. As a result of distinguished service in the War of the Spanish Succession, he became a French subject and was appointed a Marshal of France afterhis successful expedition against Nice in 1706. On 25 April 1707, Berwick won the great and decisive victory of Almanza, where an Englishman at the head of a Franco-Spanish army defeated Ruvigny, a Frenchman at the head of an Anglo-Portuguese-Dutch army. After Almanza, Berwick was created Duque de Liria y Xérica (English: Duke of Liria and Jérica) and Lieutenant of Aragon by Philip V of Spain in 1707, and Duc de Fitz-James (English: Duke of Fitz-James) inthe Peerage of France by Louis XIV in 1710. The last great event of the War of the Spanish Succession was the storming of Barcelona by Berwick, after a long siege, on 11 September 1714.

Not long thereafter, Berwick was appointed military governor of the province of Guienne, where he became friendly with Montesquieu. In 1718 he found himself under the necessity of once more entering Spain with an army; and this time he had to fight against Philip V (War of the Quadruple Alliance). Many years of peace followed this campaign, and Berwick was not again called to serve in the field until 1733. In that year he was chosen to lead the Army of the Rhine in the War of the Polish Succession, successfully besieging Kehl in 1733, but was decapitated by a cannon ball at the Siege of Philippsburg, 12 June 1734.

Berwick had children by both his marriages. His descendants were the French Ducs de Fitz-James and the Spanish Duques de Liria and later the Dukes of Alba.

{geni:occupation} Prince of Wales, Claimant to the thrones of Scotland, England, and Ireland

{geni:about_me} Prince James, Prince of Wales (James Francis Edward Stuart; "The Old Pretender" or "The Old Chevalier"; 10 June 1688 X 1 January 1766) was the son of the deposed James II and VII. As such, he claimed the English, Scottish and Irish thrones (as James III and VIII) from the death of his father in 1701, when he was proclaimed king of England, Scotland and Ireland by his cousin Louis XIV of France.



James Francis Edward, about 1703, portrait in the Royal Collection attributed to Alexis Simon BelleFrom the moment of his birth, on 10 June 1688, at St. James's Palace, the prince was the subject of controversy. He was born to the reigning king, James II of England and VII of Scots, and his Roman Catholic second wife, Mary of Modena, and as such was automatically Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay among other titles.

James II had two adult daughters from his first marriage who had been brought up in the Protestant faith. As long as there was a possibility of one of them succeeding him directly, his opponents saw his rule as only a temporary setback. When people began to fear that Mary would produce a son and heir, a movement grew to replace James by force with his elder daughter Princess Mary and his son-in-law/nephew, William of Orange.

When the young prince was born, a false rumour was immediately spread that the call for a "warming-pan" had been the pretext for a substitution, the real baby having allegedly been born dead. On 10 December, within six months of his birth, Mary of Modena left London and took him to France for safety, while his father continued to fight (unsuccessfully) to retain his crown.

With his sister Louisa Maria, the prince was brought up in France. There, recognised by King Louis XIV of France as the rightful heir to the English and Scottish thrones, he became the focus for the Jacobite movement.



James Stuart, the "Old Pretender."On his father's death in 1701, he declared himself King, with the name of James III and VIII and recognised as such by France, Spain, the Papal States and Modena. All of these states refused to recognise William III, Mary II or Queen Anne as the legitimate British sovereign. As a result of this, he was attainted for treason, 2 March 1702, and his titles forfeited under British law.

Having been delayed in France by an attack of measles, James attempted an invasion, trying to land at the Firth of Forth on 23 March 1708. His French ships were driven back by the fleet of Admiral Sir George Byng.

Had he renounced his Roman Catholic faith, he might have strengthened the existing support of Tory, pro-Restoration forces in England,[2] but he refused to do so. As a result, in 1714, a German Protestant became KingXGeorge I of Great Britain.

French forces were defeated, and Louis XIV of France was forced to accept peace with England and her allies. He signed the Treaty of Utrecht, in 1713, that, amongst other conditions, required him to expel James from France.

In the following year, the Jacobites started "The 'Fifteen" Jacobite rising in Scotland, aimed at restoring "James III and VIII" to the throne. In 1715, James finally set foot on Scottish soil, following the indecisive Battle of Sheriffmuir, but he was disappointed by the strength of support he found. Instead of carrying through the plans for a coronation at Scone, he returned to France, sailing from Montrose. He was not welcomed back, because his patron,Louis XIV, was dead and the government found him a political embarrassment.

Pope Clement XI offered James the Palazzo Muti in Rome as his residence, and he accepted. Innocent XIII, like his predecessor, showed much support. Thanks to the mediation of a close friend of his, Cardinal Filippo Antonio Gualterio, James was granted a life annuity of eight thousand Roman scudi. Such help enabled him to organise a Roman Jacobite court, where the Pope's cousin, Francesco Maria Conti of Siena, was the Gentiluomo di camera (Chamberlain).

On 3 September 1719, James Francis Edward Stuart married Maria Clementina Sobieska (1702X35), granddaughter of the Polish king, John III Sobieski. They had two sons:

Charles Edward Stuart, (31 December 1720 X 31 January 1788), aka "Bonnie Prince Charlie"

Henry Benedict Stuart, (11 March 1725 X 13 July 1807), Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church

Following James's failure, attention turned to his son Charles, "the Young Pretender", whose rebellion of 1745 came closer to success than his father's. With the failure of this second rebellion, however, the Stuart hopes of regaining the British throne were effectively destroyed.

James died in Rome on 1 January 1766, and was buried in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. From 14 January the Papacy recognized the Hanoverian dynasty as the legitimate rulers of Britain and Ireland.

Upon his father's deposition he lost his automatic titles as eldest son of the Sovereign (i.e. Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, Prince and Great Steward of Scotland). Thus he was Prince James Francis Edward, Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester, Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter until his attainture for treason.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Francis_Edward_Stuart

He was frequently called James Edward Stuart. He was a pretender to the
throne, also called James III, the Old Pretender, and the Chevalier de
Saint George; for more than half a century he was regarded by his Jacobite
followers as the rightful king of Great Britain.

When his father, King James II, was driven from England by the so-called
Glorious Revolution later the same year, James Edward was taken to the
French court at Saint-Germain-en-Laye. In 1701, on the death of James II,
Louis XIV of France proclaimed the young prince the rightful successor to
the English throne.

English sentiment was strongly against James Edward, however, because of
his Roman Catholicism. That same year the English Parliament, to prevent
the return of a Roman Catholic to the throne, passed the Act of
Settlement, and the following year it enacted a bill of attainder against
James Edward. In 1708, supported by the French and by a group of his
adherents known as Jacobites, James Edward attempted unsuccessfully to
invade Scotland and was driven back to France. In 1715 a rebellion was
launched by the Jacobites in Scotland and in December of that year James
Edward went to Scotland, where he was to be crowned. The movement failed,
however, in the face of superior forces under John Campbell, 2d duke of
Argyll, and James Edward again retired to France.

After 1719 James Edward lived in Rome, where he was given royal honors.
The struggle on behalf of the Stuart cause was renewed by his older son,
Charles Edward Stuart. James Edward's younger son, Henry Benedict Stuart,
Cardinal York, became the last of the Stuarts in the male line of
succession after his brother's death, and called himself Henry IX.

Maria Luisa of Orléans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marie Louise of Orléans (26 April 1662, Palais Royal, Paris, France - 12 February 1689, Royal Alcazar, Madrid, Spain) Queen Consort of Spain from 1679 to 1689 as the first wife of King Charles II of Spain.

Early Life

Marie Louise was the eldest daughter of Philippe de France, Duc d'Orléans, the younger brother of King Louis XIV, and his first wife, Princess Henrietta Anne of England. As a granddaughter of the king, she was a Petite-Fille de France. She was descended from both the French and English royal families: her paternal grandparents were Louis XIII of France and Anne of Austria and her maternal grandparents were Charles I of England and Henrietta Maria of France. She was also a niece of King Louis XIV of France, King Charles II of England, King James II of England and Mary, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange.

[edit]Childhood

Marie Louise had a happy childhood in France, lived mostly in her father's residences, the Palais Royal in Paris and Château de Saint-Cloud, outside the capital. Marie Louise spent a great deal of her time with her paternal grandmother, Anne of Austria, who doted on her and left the bulk of her fortune to her when she died in 1666. She was also her fathers favourite child.

Marie Louise also visited often with her maternal grandmother, Henrietta Maria of France, at her residence in Colombes, where she met her cousin, the future Queen Anne I of Great Britain, who spent a lot time in France during herchildhood. For a time Anne stayed with her cousins at thier homes.

In 1670, when Marie Louise was eight years old, her mother died. The following year, 1671, her father married Elizabeth Charlotte, Princess Palatine, who became like a mother to Marie Louise and her younger sister, Anne Marie d'Orléans, who became later the Queen of Savoy and Sardinia. During the rest of her life, Marie Louise would maintain an affectionate correspondence with her stepmother.

[edit]Marriage

As she was the most senior unmarried lady at the French court, it was assumed by many that she would marry her cousin, Louis de France, the Dauphin of France. A famous scene ocurred when the sixteen year old girl was told that she was to be the Queen of Spain. Her uncle, Louis XIV, told her:

I could not have done more for my own daughter

[1]

To which Mademoiselle d'Orléans said:

Yes sire, but you could have done more for your niece.

[2]

Her cousin, the Dauphin, later married a distand cousin, Maria Anna Christine Victoria of Bavaria.

Before Marie Louise departed from France for Spain, she went to the convent of Val-de-Grâce where the heart of her mother was housed. It would be the last time she was in Paris. She would never return to the country of her birth.

[edit]Queen of Spain

On 19 November 1679, Marie Louise married King Charles II of Spain, in Quintanapalla, near Burgos, Spain. This was the start of a very lonely existence at the Spanish court. Renowned for her beauty and charm, her new husband fellmadly in love with her, a passion that remained with him until the end of his life. [3]The rigid etiquette of the Spanish court and her unsuccessful attempts to become pregnant, however, caused her to suffer from depression.

In early 1688 a witness wrote that, when Charles and Marie Louise went to church to pray for children, they did so with:

with such faith that even the stones would move in order to join them and ask God for the issue they desire.

[edit]Death

One day after horseback riding, the Queen felt a severe pain in the abdomen causing her to lie down the rest of the evening. Tradgically, the queen died the following night, 12 February 1689. According to a witness, on her deathbed Marie Louise said farewell to her husband:

Your Majesty might have other wives, but no one will ever love you as I do.

When Marie Louise died, Charles was completely heartbroken. At the time, there were rumors saying that she had been poisoned at the behest of the dowager queen, Mariana of Austria, her mother-in-law, because Marie Louise had not given birth to any children. In fact, Mariana and Marie Louise were close and the dowager queen was also devastated at the Queen's death. It seems likely that the real cause of Marie Louise's death was appendicitis. She died at age twenty six, the same age as her mother, Princess Henrietta Anne of England, when she died.

[edit]Aftermath

Shortly after the Queen's death, the Spanish ministers began to look for a second wife for the King. The main candidates were the Italian princess Anne Marie Louise of Tuscany and the German princess Maria Anna of Neuburg. Upon showing the portraits of the women to Charles, the King observed:

The lady from Tuscany is pretty and the lady from Neuburg seems not to be ugly either.

But then Charles turned towards a portrait of the deceased Marie Louise and sighing, said:

This lady was really beautiful.

Prinzessin Marie Louise von Orléans (José García Hidalgo, 1679)

Marie Louise, Prinzessin von Orléans (spanisch: María Luisa de Orléans) (* 27. März 1662 im Palais Royal (Paris); X 12. Februar 1689 in Madrid) war ein Mitglied der französischen Königsfamilie aus dem Haus Bourbon-Orléans. Durch Heirat wurde sie Königin von Spanien.

Leben [Bearbeiten]

Marie Louise war die älteste Tochter aus der ersten Ehe von Herzog Philipp I. von Orléans mit Henrietta von England. Sie wurde am 31. August 1679 per procurationem mit dem geistig beschränkten spanischen König Karl II. verheiratet und war daher bis zu ihrem Tode spanische Königin. Ihrem Mann begegnete sie erstmals am 19. November 1679, da sie jedoch kein Spanisch und er kein Französisch sprach, waren beide Eheleute bei ihrer ersten Begegnung auf einen Dolmetscher angewiesen.

Die Ehe verlief trotz der schwierigen Verhältnisse verhältnismäßig gut. Marie Louise wird eine beinahe mütterliche Zärtlichkeit zu dem ihr geistig weit unterlegenem Karl nachgesagt. Ob die Ehe jemals vollzogen wurde, gilt als fraglich. Heute wird unterstellt, dass Karl II. an Neurasthenie litt. Auf das Hofleben blieb Marie Louise ohne größeren Einfluss. Die Macht wurde von ihrer Schwiegermutter Maria Anna von Österreich (1634X1696) und deren Minister ausgeübt. Marie Louise war außerdem völlig unpolitisch. Sie litt allerdings darunter, dass man die Ursache für die Kinderlosigkeit bei ihr suchte, und täuschte mehrfach eine Schwangerschaft vor. Maria Louise verstarb am 12. Februar 1689. Es wurde immer wieder vermutet, dass sie einem Giftanschlag zum Opfer fiel. Die Historiker sind sich jedoch sicher, dass die Todesursache eine Vergiftung durch Salmonellen nach dem Genuss von Austern war.

Philippe Charles d'Orléans, petit-fils de France, Duke of Valois (16 July 1664 X 8 December 1666[1]) was a French prince and Grandson of France. He was created Duke of Valois at the time of his birth. He was a short lived nephew of Louis XIV.

Biography

Born at the Palace of Fontainebleau in July 1664, he was created the Duke of Valois at his birth. His father, Philippe de France, known at court as Monsieur was married to Henrietta Anne of England, daughter of the murdered Charles I of England and the French born Queen Henriette Marie. As such, his parents were first cousins.

He received the names of his father, Philippe and his maternal grandfather, Charles.

Philippe Charles birth helped to smooth over the difficult relationship his parents had; his father was a renowned homosexual who was under the domination of his long term lover the Chevalier de Lorraine. Monsieur complained thatHenriette (known simply as Madame) flirted with men at court including the king himself. Court gossip claimed that Philippe Charles' own older sister Marie Louise, was the product of Louis XIV's and Madame's flirting.

After the death of the Queen mother, Anne of Austria in January 1666, Louis XIV promised to raise Philippe Charles with his first cousin le Grand Dauphin. At the end of the year, Philippe Charles himself succumbed and died at thePalais-Royal in Paris, the grace and favour residence of his parents. He was Royal Basilica of Saint Denis, outside Paris.
